Stake $CRATE, compound every epoch, and own the mechanism.
CRATE is a reserve protocol that lets you stake $CRATE and watch your balance grow with every rebase — fully automatic, no claiming.Bond $CRATE with ETH or USDC to strengthen the treasury. The mechanics are proven. The difference is the execution: a protocol-owned treasury, predictable compounding, and zero pretense about how it scales.
Three ways in. One very well-documented way out.
The classic (3,3) reserve design — staking, bonding, and a protocol-owned treasury — with the footnotes moved to the front page.
Get in
Stake $CRATE, receive sCRATE, and watch it rebase upward every epoch — automatic, compounding, nothing to claim. Your token count goes up. Read that sentence again: that is the whole of what it does.
Start staking →Feed the treasury
Sell ETH or USDC to the protocol at a discount for vesting $CRATE. Every bond becomes protocol-owned reserve — real backing, which is the one part of this design that was always honest.
Open a bond →The game
If everyone stakes, everyone wins. If everyone leaves, whoever left first won. Both statements are true at once, and that tension is the protocol. Nobody ever fixed it. We just stopped pretending.
How it works →Your treasury, your terms.
Connect your wallet, stake $CRATE, and track everything in real-time — the rebase clock, your compounding balance, and the protocol's treasury growth. CRATE never holds your funds, never touches them. You control every $CRATE in your wallet.
Enter App →What it does, in the order you'll actually need it.
No governance token, no revenue claims, no "audited by" badge doing the trust-signaling for us. Just the mechanics, written the same way we'd explain them out loud.
Stake $CRATE, hold sCRATE
Depositing $CRATE mints an equal amount of sCRATE at a 1:1 ratio. sCRATE is what rebases — you never trade it back in, you just watch the balance climb. Unstaking at any time burns sCRATE and returns the current $CRATE balance, rebases included.
There is no lockup and no cooldown. That is a feature for you and a liability for the treasury, and both of those things are true at once.
